    Problem definition: We study the problem of designing large-scale resilient relay logistics hub networks. We propose a model of k-Shortest Path Network Design, which aims to improve a network’s efficiency and resilience through its topological configuration, by locating relay logistics hubs to connect each origin-destination pair with k paths of minimum lengths, weighted by their … Read more

    Bicriteria approaches for an optimal balance between resilience and cost-effectiveness of supply chains

    In supply chain optimization multiple objectives are considered simultaneously, for example to increase resilience and reduce costs. In this paper we discuss the corresponding bicriteria problems to find a good balance between these two objectives. We give a general model for supply chain resilience that integrates strategic decisions with the operational level. This modular model … Read more

    Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, large wind and ice storms, typically require the repair of a large number of components in electricity distribution networks. Since power cannot be restored before the completion of repairs, optimally scheduling the available crews to minimize the cumulative duration of the customer interruptions reduces the harm done to the affected … Read more

    Towards Resilient Operation of Multi-Microgrids: An MISOCP-Based Frequency-Constrained Approach

    High penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) is transforming the paradigm in power system operation. The ability to provide electricity to customers while the main grid is disrupted has introduced the concept of microgrids with many challenges and opportunities. Emergency control of dangerous transients caused by the transition between the grid-connected and island modes in … Read more

    Resilient layout, design and operation of energy-efficient water distribution networks for high-rise buildings using MINLP

    Water supply of high-rise buildings requires pump systems to ensure pressure requirements. The design goal of these systems are energy and cost efficiency, both in terms of fixed cost as well as during operation. In this paper, cost optimal decentralized and tree-shaped water distribution networks are computed, where placements of pumps at different locations in … Read more

    A new model and a computational study for Demand-wise Shared Protection

    This report combines the contributions to INOC 2005 (Wessälly et al., 2005) and DRCN 2005 (Gruber et al., 2005). A new integer linear programming model for the end-to-end survivability concept deman d-wise shared protection (DSP) is presented. DSP is based on the idea that backup capacity is dedicated to a particular demand, but shared within … Read more
